Unfortunately we had to book back before you made it Marko, damn it. But a couple of us were given a short hallpass by the wives sheikhs they were home with the babies.
I really wanted to see those knives you were bringing. Anybody get any pics or pick one up? Bah, next time!

I ended up running out of time, but I brought 3 gyutos, 245mm with saya and 255mm (saya in works), one 180mm gyuto and one 250mm suji to check out. The other knives that I brought along, were in blank form (heattreated, profiled but not ground), and all one can see in them is damascus pattern and profiles. None of the knives were for sale (at this time).

The board I brought, went to poitonboy, as did the walnut magnetic strip and the walnut base for DMT.

I will start on the handles and will offer the 245mm chevron 52100 koa set and 255mm 52100 cocobolo/walnut set on my subforum within days. Sujis will follow, but nor right away.

Thanks for posting shots of the knifes and other members. I'd like to put names with faces too. I think I can pick out Mr Butch Harner and Mari but whos' everyone else? Next time, would name tages would be appropriate? I'm sure that other forum members concur?
